Hi there,

 

I'm currently working with a data base that contains negative currency values like this.

The problem is when i display the table on SAS those values displays as a super big number.

I've tried several formatting options but the results are useless, SAS is reading the number in that way. Any help will be welcome.

What format are you applying to the variable? In the first picture and the second picture?

And is the first picture from an external data base? If so you may have a conversion issue based on the display rules from the data base.

 

What value to expect to see?

 

What is the actual value of the number? (May have to display as best32. )
